This is a sequel to Beautiful Eyes and it's next on the chopping block for revisions. I remember seeing an Aqualad episode and thinking this up. Keep in mind, this was written a long time ago, probably only a season or two into the series. It's probably not going to conform to a lot of the things that happened later on because I didn't watch later on. I'm not updating it to match the series, just updating it to have better grammar and being slightly more cohesive.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or any of its characters. I simply use them to further the enjoyment of all.

Starfire stood in the kitchen chopping up vegetables. She had learned by now, after so many years on this planet, what things should and shouldn't be eaten. The thought of combining foods though, constantly stirred her curiosity. In the past few months she had become quite a talented cook and prepared most of the meals for those in the tower. It was either her or everyone would have been eating all tofu all the time.

Suddenly a hand reached over her shoulder and plucked a red pepper off the cutting board. She turned to see Robin popping the pepper into his mouth, licking the remnants off his fingers and smiling. He leaned down and caught her lips with his.

"Delicious," he said when he lifted his head.

"Really?" she questioned. "I thought the peppers were a little over ripe."

"I wasn't talking about the food, Star," he told her. She blushed profusely as she realized his meaning. He kissed her again. "You're cute when you blush."

Robin and she had been dating since her accident three years ago. They had been trying to stop bank robbers when the roof was blown and she crushed under the rubble, throwing her into a coma. Robin stayed by her side the whole time, not even leaving to go eat.

They had gone through some rough patches since, and one big miscommunication that really put them to the test, but that was over now. Everything was perfect between them and nothing would ever change that, she was fairly certain. She turned back to her food, chopping things up as Robin picked things over her shoulder. She tried to get him to stop but he was a lot quicker than her. The distracting kisses he continually gave also added to his advantage.

"Hey! Aqualad is here!" came a call from the foyer. Beast Boy's outburst made both of them jump. "He's coming up."

They were both surprised at his appearance but were excited about their visitor anyways. Robin was smiling, already headed towards the door. "Let's go greet him, Star."

"Robin, is there not something you are forgetting?" she asked, wondering if he noticed. He looked at her confused and she realized that he had no idea what she was talking about. Deciding to have a little fun she sauntered over to Robin and slid her hands around his waist. Slowly she slid her hand into his back pocket. He gasped softly.

"Star, I… don't think this is really the… place," he managed to get out, trying hard not to concentrate on the feeling of her pressed against him. She withdrew her hand and held up an object in front of his face. It took a minute for him to realize that she was holding his mask.

"If the words 'secret identity' means anything to you, I suggest that you put this on," she told him, trying hard not to laugh. A few giggles escaped her lips anyways. He plucked the mask from her graceful fingers and then fitted it onto his face.

"I'm going to get you back for that one," he grumbled and she just smiled at him. They walked to the door and Aqualad was already inside being greeted by the rest of the team.

"Aqualad, welcome to our home," Starfire greeted him. It had been two years since they had seen the young hero last. Two years in which Starfire had grown into her womanly attributes and Aqualad didn't attempt to hide his appreciative gaze. Robin squelched a pang of jealousy.

"Well, Starfire, aren't we looking especially beautiful," Aqualad complimented, taking her hand and kissing the backs of her fingers. Flecks of lust sparkled in his eyes and Starfire blushed.

"Thank you, Aqualad," Starfire said, not sure how to respond to the flattery. Robin walked up behind her and draped an arm around her waist.

"Aqualad," he said curtly.

"Robin." Aqualad didn't miss the hidden message. Starfire was off limits. He smiled at the gesture knowing that he was up for a little competition. Aqualad didn't have a chance to woo her last time they were together; they were too busy with bad guys but he was on vacation now and he was accustomed to always getting what he wanted.

And he wanted Starfire.

"Aqualad, dude!" Beast Boy addressed him.

"Beast Boy, my man!" Their fists met in a weird sort of hand shake. "What's happening?"

"Not much, dude."

"Yo! Aqualad!" Cyborg came up and shook his hand.

"It's good to see all of you," Aqualad said, enthusiastic to see the team. They had formed strong friendships when they had last met, friendships that Aqualad was happy to renew. He couldn't wait to hang out with Cyborg and Beast Boy. He looked around, noticing one was missing from the group. "Where's Raven?"

"Hello, Aqualad," Raven said, walking out from the hall to join the welcome party. He turned and gave her his thousand watt smile.

"Good to see you're still your same gloomy self," he teased her. "Would is honestly kill you to smile at least once?"

"I think it might. I'd rather not take the risk," she answered and he laughed softly.

"Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices for the greater good."

"I bet. Let me show you where you're staying," she said, turning back down the hall she came from.

"Cool! I get my own room!" Aqualad exclaimed, grabbing his bag and throwing it over his shoulder.

"Who said anything about your own room?" she responded, never looking back at him. "You're bunking with Beast Boy."

"Funny, Raven, now really, where am I staying?"

"You're forgetting something, Aqualad."

"What?"

"I don't do funny." There was a low curse as he followed Raven to his room, or rather, Beast Boy's room.

Starfire turned and glared at Robin, eyes angered, making him fidget under her gaze. He looked around for help but realized that everyone had followed Aqualad and Raven, leaving Starfire and he alone. Usually he would be cheering but somehow he got the feeling she wasn't about to shower him with kisses.

"What?" he finally asked, no longer able to stand her scrutiny. The woman could get a girl scout to confess murder with that look.

"You were rude to our guest!" she all but shouted. Robin looked at her like she was crazy.

"You're kidding right?" Her anger confused him as much as his response was now confusing her.

"No, I am not. He is your friend. I do you not understand why you were so mean," she told him, her hands on her hips.

"Didn't you see how he looked at you? I'm surprised he didn't try to kiss you right here," Robin fought back, trying to make her understand what he had noticed so easily.

"Why would he do that?" she asked. She wasn't dating Aqualad, wasn't even interested in him, and she had been on Earth long enough to know that people didn't just walking around kissing other people without permission. Robin sighed at her ignorance. She had learned so much but this was a subject she was completely oblivious to.

"Because he wants you, Star," Robin explained patiently.

"But I am with you," she said, the message still not getting through.

"It doesn't matter to some guys. Some guys are with girls just to get things from them. Once thy get it, they leave them." He didn't mention what said things were but he figured they'd cross that bridge if they came to it.

"Is Aqualad like this?" she asked, her brow scrunching in concentration, trying to understand the strange customs of this planet.

"I think so, yes and I think that you are his next target." He dodged her gaze and shuffled his foot on the floor. "I just… don't want to lose you, Star."

"Robin, you are forgetting one thing," she told him softly. He looked up.

"What?"

She stepped close to him. "I love you." She softly pressed her lips to his. "Do not worry about losing me."

He smiled at her, happy to have her in his life. "I'm sorry. You're right. I just… I've never felt jealous before in my life and it kind of took me by surprise."

"You were jealous? That's so cute!" She kissed him again. "Now come and help me cook dinner. The boy you are unnecessarily jealous of will need to eat just as much as the rest of us do."

I forgot how short the chapters were on this. Anyways, this was just the beginning. Until next time.
